youwin.com Poker uses a weighted contributed rake system. One VIP point is rewarded for each €0.50, which has been contributed in rake. When a player bets money into the pot, he/she also contributes an amount into the rake. The amount of VIP-points awarded to the player per hand is based on the player’s contribution into the pot and consequently into the rake. If the player’s rake contribution is less than €0.50, then the player is awarded with the partial VIP-points. The maximum rake, which can be taken from the pot is €3, thus the player can earn up to 3 VIP-points per hand. The players that do not contribute any money into the pot are not rewarded with any VIP-points.

Player A bets €1 (small blind) into the pot
Player B bets €2 (big blind) into the pot
Player C bets €40 into the pot
Player D bets €40 into the pot
Player E folds

The total pot of this hand is €83 and the rake is €3.

If you do not act when it is your turn while still in the pot you will be marked away thus check if possible and fold to any bet.In the unfortunate event in which you can not act due to a disconnection you might get treated as “Artificial all-in”, which means that you will be marked as all-in as if you have run out of chips when you placed your last bet/called and thus only be eligible for the pot up to the point when you last invested money. Please note that “Artificial all-ins” only can occur in Fixed Limit ring games and not in any other betting types (Pot Limit, No Limit etc) or in tournaments.
Most likely you haven't answered a dialogue box and the table has popped up in front of it. To be able to act you need to minimize the table, answer the question and then open the table again.
If a server stops working, then all hands in play will be cancelled. The players’ chips will be returned to the respective poker account as soon as the server is restarted. The last hand will be cancelled if it has not been approved by the database. This can also be seen in the hand history on the bottom line as "This hand did not end. This hand has been cancelled". In tournaments, the game will be frozen and restarted automatically after a few minutes. If the tournament can not be restarted, the remaining players will equally share the pot irrespective of the amount of chips they had at the time.
